Almost done!

Just in case you were wondering, I'm nearly finished with my rough cut of Turkey Trekkers--hurrah!! I've been showing it to test audiences to get a feel for people's reactions. Perhaps my favorite was the elderly gentleman in the back of one such showing who yelled out rather grumpily, "Who in their right mind would want to go to Turkey?". Thank you elderly gentleman, I'll be sure to note that in my final edit.

Way of St. Paul trail

The hike...the film

Read and Kari are embarking on a 300 mile trek through Turkey. Armed with a Canon XH A1 camera, minimal gear and sheer optimisim, we're off to experience a part of Turkey most tourists never get to see. Sure we don't know Turkish, yes this is Kari's first attempt at a documentary film on her own terms, but no matter what comes of it, this will be an adventure.
